CARRANZA TO BLAME. It is plainly indicated by the attitude whlch is being taken by Car-ranza in hia failure to approve the report of the Joint commission on Mexican and American affairs, that he is not satisfied with their accomplishment. The members of the Commission from Mexico put off their decision as. long as they could and then when it appeared that they had agreed to the demands of the United States as to the time which should be allowed General Pershing: to retire, in return for the favorable action of the American commission upon that much pressed point, they put tho final decision up to Carranza and he has backed and filled, though all the time It was to be Inferred that he would not to the protocol. This country has given Carranza his way in too many instances.
He has halted the effort to dispose of Villa and by his attitude towards the United States troops and by his failure to handle his own problem for himself Villa has continued to become a greater menace. Had Carranza undertook to crush the bandit cVlef and succeeded in so doing, he might be in a position to day to Insist that he could look out for the border in a manner which would be satisfactory, but this he has failed to do. Villa has been playing horse with him. to such an extent that this country cannot rely upon the do facto government to keep him in check. It is therefore but reasonable that this country should insist upon the 40 days for the withdrawal of its troops after the protocol is signed, and the right to chase raiders across the border.
Carranza may look upon this as humiliating, but if he stops to reflect upon it he must realize that there Is no one responsible for it but himself. THE CHRISTMAS SAVING PLAN. For several years banks throughout the country have been encouraging Christmas savings plans, requiring a certain deposit every week or month and the accumulated savings are turned over on defand at the approach of the Christmas season. Millions have been distributed this month through Just such 'schemes, and if it were known there are undoubtedly many enrolled as members in such clubs or participants in such a plan who had never previously had a bank account. That a large part of the systematic savings 13 drawn for holiday or other use at the end of the year is probable, but it is more than likely that that very plan has been the entering wedge for a large number of participants to open permanent savings accounts.
It permits of a demonstration of its value and desirability. It shows what can be done when there is an effort made and it proves that a bank account is an excellent thing to have when there is need of. a little extra spending money, or when one is suddenly confronted with an unexpected expense. There is the lesson of thrift In these savings clubs which cannot be overlooked. It 13 bound to make its appeal during: the moments of serious reflection in a macner which makes it possible, to leave ft deeper impression than as' if It was the experience of another.
It is a persona education In saving- and its influence extends far beyond" the immediate object, which Is the providing of ready funds for the meeting of the Christmas bills. OUR FOREIGN TRADE. That this country has not begun to slow up to any marked extent in the bi.siness which It is gaining from the countries at war is indicated by the report which has -Just been made of the exports for the month of November shows that a new record has been established. Records have teen made and smashed repeatedly In the past two years but the total value if c-xds sent out of the country in Kcvembcr. amounting to was $3,000,000 in excess of the previ ous high total reached during the month of September.
This shows what war is doin for this country, for even though all these goods are not being sent to the nations involved in the war, they are being demanded by other nations be cause or the conditions -which are cansed by the shutting off "of their former markets. This is revealed by' the figures for eleven months endin with November which show that the foreign trade In that time totaled against for the same period in 1915 and 800,000 in 1913. which was the largest total for normal years. Thus as the war- grows older our shipments abroad increase. This is due in some instances to the delivery of orders which were placed here long ago, but it represents the general trend of foreign trade and indicates the dependence which is being placed upon this country by others, who are either devoting their attention to other things or who.
are forced to come here through inability to obtain them through channels whiqft they formerly used. There would, however, be greater cause for gratification if it was a fact that this foreign trade could be depended upon following the declaration of peace. SECOND CLASS MATTER. There are a number of recommendations which have been made Postmaster General Burleson regarding, changes in the pestal service which have not met with general approval. There, are features of the postofflce appropriations bill which are far from satisfactory but in spite of all this and the stand which Mr.
Burleson has taken for one cent postage, when the postal service is so far from standard that all the funds which are obtained from the present rates can be used to excellent advantage In bringing about improvements without attempting any such radical step at this time, other changes are sought. This is disclosed in a rider which has been attached to the postofflce bill. In accordance with a practice which ought long ago to have been permanently stopped, which calls for the abandonment of the one cent a pound rate for second class matter and the establishment of a sliding scale which leaves it at one cent for distances up to 300 miles from. the office of publication but runs 'up to six cents a pound for a distance of 1800 miles. This of course bears down heavily upon publications which are nation wide in character.
It means that publications which are now purchased for $2 a year in the east would cost the mechanic or farmer on the western coast the sum of 5. It means that In many cases he would be forced to abandon his, means of keeping in touch with the progress in his particular line as carried on throughout other sections of the nation. That it will receive strenuous opposition cannot be doubted and there is no question but what it deserves a prompt and positive defeat. THE UNSTOPABLE TEUTONS. Ever since the Teutons began to show their supremacy in Rumania and to -make it.
evident that the enemy. In spite of the reinforcements which It was said to be getting, was by no means a match for the clever generals who were making a double drive into that country, it has been expected that the Ttusso-Rumanians, or possibly the Russians alone would open a campaign for the purpose of outflanking the armies of the central powers and cause the recalling cf those forces which are pushing through to Bessa rabia under Generals Mackensen and Palkenhayn. Such however has failed, to mater ialize. Russia has made efforts to at tract the attention of the Teutons else'Miere but they have amounted to nothing. They have, not even served to delay the steady progress which is being made in driving the Rumanians out of their own country together with such Russians as have been sent to aid them.
Mackensen continues to forge ahead daily gathering in large numbers of prisoners in the meantime and also getting the benefit of the stores and supplies which the retreating army is forced to abandon. "Where this is going to stop is not as yet indicated. Rumania is certainly not hastening the end ofthe war in the way it anticipated when it made its entrance. The Teutons have found an easy problem in that quarter and they are. making the most of it and if it continues much longer Russia will have cause to do some worrying over the position of its armies to the north which are fighting their way into Austria, EDITORIAL NOTES.
The turkey has by this time reached the point where it is pretty much in the soup. The man on the corner says: There is a serious flaw in the peace offer which makes the enemy show more fight. No man has a better opportunity of proving himself a friend, of humanity than by sanding his walk during as tee stoni There is no reason why the Christmas spirit should not be carried on throughout the next twelve months. It ought not to confined to December 25. The pardoned murderer who attempts to take the life of another makes much more harder the fight which is being waged against capital punishment.
The absence of reports concerning any destruction by the German raider which was supposed to have slipped past the British blockade, gives ground for the belief that the story was slightly exaggerated. While the allies' hopes may be based upon a complete German collapse, there is little which would indicate it in the success whicn Mackensen is having in Rumania. Great Britain has sent a fleet of disguised warships to the vicinity of Halifax, but from the way in which! the submarines are sinking British. Norwegian and other vessels, it rather seems as though they would have plenty to do on the other side. The New Haven doesn't appear to be able to suit whatever it does It was only a short time ago that it was being severely criticised for high financing and squandering its money, and now complaint is registered that it is using too much economy in spite of the fact that that Is just vrhat it was advised to do.
SHE LOVED "Oh!" cried the yellow haired young woman as she fluttered into her place at the symphony concert glancing at sethe girl in the adjoining seat. "Oh, you did take your seat again for the season, didn't you? I'm so glad! I think it makes such a difference who sits next to one, and you know so much about music that it's a wonderful help!

Mr. Editor: May I ask how much longer we who have to depend on gas for lighting or cooking must endure the nauseating odor and poor quality of gas given us We cannot all have electricity, and it is deplorable, with the price of coal where it is, that we are forced to open wide our windows, as soon as we light our gas, and also that we must light at least four burners to obtain sufficient light.
"We are told that "it Is not- un healthy," but surely when It causes us to choke and cough there is something wrong. Can we not have an Investigation made and see if there is not a remedy for us who have to pay the gas bill every month? OXE OF THOSE. Norwich, Dec. 27, 1916. Glimpse of Chivalry Which Animates Southerner.
Editor: In her letter in today's Bulletin Southerner hints darkly as to the fate of those who have answered her letters in The Bulletin had they made the same statements in the south. Here we catch a glimpse of the spirit of true chivalry which animates the southern man. "Prompt to proclaim his honor without blot and answer doubters with a ten-pace shot." The south has given us many ex amples of this famous chivalry in its homicides, the gentle efforts of the Ku-Klux to inculcate correct political principles, its lynchings, and as- a crowning monument for all the world to see, the case of Leo Frank. Here in the north we are so lacking in that far-famed virtue as to allow the law to take regular course in stead of settling affairs by the honorable method of the or the rope, supplemented at times by the tar bar rel and feather bed. We are even sunk so low as to tol erate a very considerable freedom of speech instead of effectually silencing our opponents by the very effective means which Southerner intimates prevails in the sunny south.
A shining example of southern chiv alry was Brooks of South Carolina, who gave Charles Sumner so severe a beating that his life was despaired of upon the occasion of the hitter's mak ing a speech displeasing to the clave power. We all know that Thomas Dixon, was the idol of. the admirers of that band of cut-throats known as the Ku- Klux. General Sheriden reported that thirty-five hundred persons were murdered in Louisiana alone by these desperadoes, and' he also stated that every one of these victims belonged to a certain political party. Quite a number of these gentry afterward had the pleasure of dancing at the end of a rope; a most excellent form of exercise for them.
It seems unfair that other bandits such as the Black Hand, the Cam-morra. the McNamara brothers, should not have had some able champion to sing their praises as well as the Ku-Klux. Whether Southerner will consider this letter as respectful or not. I am not able to determine, but let her remember that she began this controversy by taking umbrage at a brief and passing remark which a writer made regarding Jeff Davis. She breathes venom and hatred at the name of Thaddeus Stevens.
Stevens had his faults, to be sure, but his name is not to be mentioned in the same breath with that of the arch-traitor of the south. The people of his home town, Lancaster. Pa, regard his Kemory so highly that they would not allow that travesty of history. The Birth of a Nation, to be presented there. wish to say to Southerner that this discussion has been prolonged to an unusual length and that it is endea herewith, as far as I am concerned.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society The Desert of the Sea. The proclamation of the Grand Shereef of Mecca announcing the formation of the new kingdom of Arabia gives especial timeliness tq a communication to the National Geographic sbciety at its headquarters at Washington from Archibald Forder, of Jerusalem, a part of which is issued as one of the society's series of war geography bulletins. Mr. Ford re describes Arabia as one of the oldest known parts of the earth.
He says: "Long before the sons of Jacob went down into Egypt, the sons of Ishmael had settled in the land Providence had assigned them. The boundaries of Arabia are outlined in the Bible as early as -Genesis xxv, 18. Probably many centuries ago Palestine, Syria and the" Sinaitic Peninsula were important parts of Arabia. Isaiah speaks of it as 'the desert of the sea' (xxi, 1) and when one considers it a land largely desert, almost entirely surrounded by water, we conclude that the ancient seer was not far wrong in his designation of the land. Arabia is between Egypt and Persia, to put it widely, and between India and Europe.
It has a seacoast of about 4,000 miles. "No land so little atracts the attention of the speculator, hunter.advent-urer, or traveler as Arabia, and yet no eountry presents so large or new a field. Many the obstacles to be faced and overcome ere one can see and learn for oneself what is beyond the mysterious and almost waterless belt of uninviting desert that almost encircles this litle known land, but a few Jiave penetrated the country from different points and each has shed some HJght on the interior. "The first and perhaps the most difficult obstacle with which the traveler had to contend prior to the- outbreak of the European war was the rigid persistence of the Turk, who practically controlled the entire coast line of Arabia up to the time of the revolt of the Grand Shereefs followers a few months ago, but who never held sway far inland. Travelers landing on the coast with the intention of proceeding to the interior were met by smiling officials who politely requested their 'permit' from and on failing to produce that were recommended procure the same by telegraphing to their displo-matic representative in the Turkish metropolis a costly and usually hopeless procedure.
"If, however, an entrance was gained has been done, troubles of other kinds had "to be overcome, such as the difficulties of transportation, the superstition of the natievs and their dislike of the Christian, the last perhaps the most dangerous if not the most formidable. "Arabia is probably one of the oldest of the Oriental countries and at different times has played important roles in the making of the world's his--tory, and the probability is that in the revival of the Orient it will yet figure prominently once more. 'The northwest part of Arabia is famous for its many-nuned mountains, rocks and crags, into and out of which has been hewn many a fine tomb, temple, dwelling, and theater by the Nab-athean. Roman, Greek, or Egyptian, all of whom have left their mark behind them. "The great need of the Arabian peninsula is water, for without that aH-important factor of everyday life little can be accomplished, and the entire absence of running water in any shape or form accounts largely for the lack of any forward movement or attempt at industrial or manufacturing achievements.
"Where water Is obtainable it is generally from wells of great depth, causing a large amount of labor to get it to the surface- Some of these wells are evidently ancient, as indicated by the stones of many courses near the mouth and the deep grooves worn by tberopes of the drawers during many WE.

OTHER VIEW POINTS Profits, disturbed through- wage increases, group insurance, and a multiplicity of social schemes, are tangible evidence that great corporations are not entirely soulless.

True to their kind they agree with pretty much all that is said, "have long had the Improvements in mind." The answer is that left to themselves those needed improvements would always be in mind, and never anywhere else The most direct route to all jail improvement is abolition of the county system and county commissioners. Real progress is made when that it done and the way is then clear for" constructive work.
Bristol Press. It will be recalled that fifteen years ago some one in Connecticut thought we needed a change in our organic law. A convention was held. The best thing- about that session was that we did not waste much money on it, after the true Connecticut manner. It wass a nable body of men who gathered at Hartford.
Yet when the people came to vote on the fruit of its labors only 81,000 took the trouble to go to the polls, and more than two-thirds said they Mid not want it. That was good Judgment. There were but one or two things in the new organic law which could not be done by legislation, and not one was really needed. Constitutional conventions are a waste of money and a field for faddists to try and make other people uncomfortable. Bridgeport Post.
The formation of a league to enforce peace would be an extension of the idea underlying the Monroe doctrine, an extension to the old world. It would not be an "entangling alliance," to use the phrase coined by Washington rather an alliance to stop entaiglements leading to the horrors of war. We must be careful not to let shadows of the past darken the path of the future, not to let wise words of the eighteenth century block wise courses of action, in the twentieth. American independence was gained by an alliance, but not an entangling one. We must avoid entangling alliances, but not alliances that will bring about more independence and security for ourselves and other peoples.
New Haven Union. Waterbury is such a hilly place that the Connecticut company, nor any other company can afford to run cars on its hillsides are not properly manned with properly tested brakes. It is also unadvisable to permit cars to be stopped on hillside switches. The other afternoon's accident was a very fortunate one for the company. It will look, on paper in the company's offices, with the records of a day's mishaps throughout the system, only a trifle out of the ordinary and not bad at that.
It may look the same to the public utilities commissioners. To the people of Waterbury it looks bad, mighty bad, because they have to hide on hillside roads all the time, and they want to believe that the trolley cars they ride in are safe. It should not be necessary to wait until a coroner's inquest is necessary to enforce the rule that unsafe cars be taken out of service even if the schedule cannot be steadily maintained.
